I Changed My Mind About The Mercedes-AMG G63 After Off-Roading It
++
One option package makes all the difference.
Believe it or not, I don’t harbor too many strong automotive opinions. That probably sounds funny, considering I contribute to this fine website for a living, but it’s true. I like the Volkswagen GTI, I don’t like cars that are too stiff, and that’s about it. Otherwise, I’m willing to hear the opposing point of view. Except for the Mercedes G-Class.
I’ve never been a big fan of the G-Wagen. It’s not that I mind the car itself – it’s a capable, purpose-built monster – but I dislike what the car became after getting involved with pop culture. Growing up in LA, I saw pristine Benz SUVs loaded with groceries at Whole Foods or driving away from a workout at Equinox. And although I can’t prove that those cars never made it off-road, I’d be willing to bet that the only dirt their tires saw was the mud on the road after a downpour in Hollywood Hills.
